[UFC 117] Matt Hughes submits Ricardo Almeida in round 1

Very impressive showing from Hughes, as he won in short order with a modified guillotine (almost halfway between that and a cravate) after knocking Almeida down with a punch.  Hughes stays undefeated against Renzo Gracie's team.


Clay Guida vs Rafael dos Anjos is up now.

Thiago Alves on why he didn't try to cut the half pound that made him miss weight and cost him $12k at UFC 117 via mmafighting.com - "It was just a half-pound, so I’m sure my body could have flushed it out. But I didn’t want to. I just wanted to concentrate on the fight. It was just easier for me to give up the money. Yes, we fight for money, but you also fight to win, and at the time, I was thinking I didn’t want to cut the weight. I was just focused on getting ready to fight. When you’re cutting weight and dehydrated, you don’t always think right. In the future, that won’t happen again. It can’t happen again." On his rematch with Jon Fitch and his future: "I’ve been in that situation before, but I was just off being in the octagon again. I was wondering a lot, thinking a lot. Usually I don’t think when I’m in there, I just let it go on auto-pilot and do what I’m supposed to do. In that fight, I was guessing a lot, I was thinking a lot and I didn’t perform the way I should. In two years, I fought Georges St. Pierre and Jon Fitch. I had an eight-month break before fighting St. Pierre, then I had a 13-month break and fought Fitch. They controlled the fights, they won. It kills me because I know I can do better than that. I have all the potential to win those fights. But it wasn’t my time, and I wasn’t ready." "I’m just glad this nightmare is over and I just want to fight again. Whoever they put in front of me, I’m happy to fight. I appreciate the support I’ve gotten. When things like this happen, you see people’s true colors. I don’t care about the people who’ve turned their backs on me. I just focus on the ones who appreciate me. That’s what’s important to me and I won’t let them down. I’m going to take this thing to the next level. I’m going to make it happen. I know what I’ve been through and I see things clearly now. Nothing’s holding me back."

Jim Ross via his website on UFC 117: "UFC 117 was one of the best, if not THE best, MMA PPV that I've ever seen, from start to finish. The live crowd in Oakland was well mic'ed and made plenty of noise thanks to the action that they were seeing in the Octagon." "Chael Sonnen deserves massive credit for verbally selling this fight either by making himself more of a fan favorite/underdog can survive type of fighter or by turning himself villain for daring to speak negatively of the celebrated, MMA legend and arguably the best pound for pound mixed martial artist in the world, Anderson Silva." "Without an emotional investment being clearly made by the participants and the promotion, fans on limited discretionary income cannot or will not make the investment to buy a PPV when they may need the cash for groceries, etc instead. Sonnen and UFC created a must see/must buy environment for UFC 117. Silva's lack of English hurts him but Sonnen more than made up for that matter by selling this fight like a maestro directing a symphony."

Dana White interviewed by Ariel Helwani post UFC 117.

by Geno Mrosko over 1 year ago 3 comments

Already. Just a few hours ago I posted that I thought it was ludicrous that Dana was saying that the winner of Fitch-Alves this Saturday at UFC 117 would earn the next title shot. I said I thought he would quickly go back on his word and sure enough he does in this interview with Ariel Helwani.

Anderson Silva-Chael Sonnen staredown from the UFC 117 Pre-fight press conference. Sonnen has been running his mouth while Silva has been rather quiet. Chael has said many different times that a guy who wore crooked hats, earrings and a pink shirt wouldn't make it 5 minutes in his neighborhood. In the first face to face these two have had, have a look at Silva's attire. Earrings? Check. Crooked hat? Check. Pink shirt? Check. Cannot wait for this fight.
